Default Thermaltake vs Silverstone in PSU?

So I'm looking for a new PSU to replace my 500w one that's just not cutting it...

I've narrowed it down to

Silverstone ST75F 750W Modular Plug Power Supply Retail

and the

Thermaltake TOUGHPOWER 750W POWER SUPPLY

both pretty much same price only $15 difference ..

both has good reviews(from what i've found) ... what would u guys recomend?

Not really much between the two, they're both very good PSUs. I'd probably go with the Thermaltake, though. BTW, you don't need 750W for the system in your sig. A quality 500W unit (not the Hyena) would be fine.

In that case a 750W PSU would be a good idea . If you're interested in more recommendations, my complete list is at http://www.computerforum.com/90117-c...endations.html
